have heard physicians OF excellent

musicians are VIGOROUSLY enyiOu5 Of one

men often forget that the world is large
enough for all, and that success WAS never

But this feeling which takes root in self

achievements and possessions is not jeal-
pasy. 1t SONY foolish envy-the Ueanest
attribute OF the human mind; the little
fox which spOils the vines, the rat which
uaderminCs the wall Of a noble character,
the moth which destroys the beautiful
fabric CT the soul. Il Is the child Of selfish
Ness and the companion Of hate. jealousy
IA the unworthy child Of L0ve-a bad chlld,

Love may exist without jealousy, as .
man may live without offspring. But
jealousy cannot live without Love any
more than an infant can be born without
parents. As the rGle OF the world is that
people begeJ offspring, 50 It IS the rule that
Love begets jealousy.
II women are mOre Jealous than men, il
j. oaly because they live more wholly in
the atmosphere Of Love.
There are two rare types Of woman who
are never susceptible to jealousy. Oue is
me perfectly humble being, utterly devoid
OF Individuality, who lives in u state of
wondering amaZomsnt that she should be
the recipient OF her lovers least regard.
She Is grateful ior asGlile, and overwhelmed
at a word OF praise. She finds greater Joy
ia loving than in being loved, and is a
faint echo Of the masculine mind In all her
opinions aud Ideas. She Is willing 20 be
the mar beneath hi ser, to eat tue crumbs
which fail from BIS table. TO do his most
meuial labor. She has the nature Of a
s. rt. the devotion Of dog, and ii he neg
lets her for other women las he usually
does sire never complains, a. in h1 will
she hnds her only n'ea~,Ee. Her nature is
mild, patient, aud 90 Staut, and devoid Of
passion and intensity.
The other type Of woman who knows 10
ealOuSy is quit. her opposite. She is a
radiautly happy creature, full Of selt,Coni-
deuce. egOtiSm, and satisfaction. She IL
pleased with life aud with her eli. She
loves deeply, and demands rs much as she
gives. She expects TO be told every day
that she is the most adorable Oma On
earth, and she is sure to convince . mar Of
the fact IL never enters her happy head
that another woman could he as charming
AZ herself, or that she could be displaced
in tine affections of any man she loves. She
is a woman who has been accustomed to
love and admiration all her life, aud she
knows how to keep her lover interested and
amused. She is sure that she finds other
women dull in comparison with herself,
and she lends him freely to her friends,
certain that he will TeiUrn gladly to her.
The majority of women who lead a mo-
nOtonOus existence live in their magma
tions, and grow morbidly sensitive.
Many q man ruins the peace of his house
hold forever by ueglectiug to speak the
word Of praise which mis- hungry-hearted
wife has yearned all day TO hear, and be-
slowing it upon some chance caller OF
stranger.
The man who tails 10 notice the careful
toilet his wife has made for his sake, and
compliments the good taste in dress eX-
hibited by some nriShbOr, SOws the seed OF
jealousy in a disappointed heart.
Woman was made to be loved, petted,
and appreciated by man. Whatever else
she may achieve in life, she feels herself
cheated out Of her birthright unless this
happiness has come to her. She is Jealous
Of whatever and whoever mag stand be-
tween her and that desired Joy. / have
known two mothers who were Jealous of
their own children. Unnatural and ter
uhle as this may seem, | felt the greatest
sympathy for both wonen. In each case
the husband utterly ignored the wife tor
her offspring. She was a secondary con-
sideTation, neglected and rebuked where
the children were CaresSed and appreciated.
| heard q woman who was a grand
mother remark one day that she would
never have lived with her husband an hour
It he had once told her that he thought an
other women beautiful Or interesting.
Poor man, of course such thoughts had en-
tered his mind, and with what secrecy he
must have guarded them ali those years!
jealousy OF such a petty type as hers Is
surely the dwarlcd and imbeCile chIld OF its
parent. The whose LIE il iull of
sensible ami noble duties il less given TO
u~ureasonlng jealousy than the idler who
dwel!s m a wOrldc t her own imagining,
And the woman VINO receives the love
and devotion which il her birthright sell
dom feels the pangS of jealousy.
